Good day, sportstalks community. I am happy to partake once again in this contest set by the community and I hope you enjoy my post. Leo Andres Messi what more can I say about this God-sent talent in the world of football, anyone who knows me in the community already knows how I adore Messi and how I have continued to praise the Argentinean at every opportunity I get.

Messi first touched a ball in a match back in his hometown in Argentina, his grandmother was the one who asked the coach to put her grandson on the pitch when he was short of a player, everyone laughed and wonder what a tiny boy could do on the field but once the ball reached his foot he dribbled past his opponent and scored a stunning goal and from there own history tool its pen and began to record the journey of this wonder kid.

Messi started his professional footballing career in 2000 at the age of 13, the young Argentinian signed with FC Barcelona as the Catalan club agreed to pay for his hormone treatment as part of the contract, the agreement was signed on a napkin in a restaurant after Messi's father and the team sent by Barcelona agreed.

It did not take long for Messi to get into the first team and in the 2004-05 season Messi made his debut in the first team at the age of 17 from that moment the Argentinian made his mark on one of the greatest clubs in the history of club football. I started following Messi in 2007. I was drowned by a young boy with long black hair who dribbled past two, three, or four players and scored a beautiful goal.

Messi's character is what I love most about him, his selflessness, humility, and composure have made him stand out from other players, even on a bad day I have never seen him show any bad character against his opponents he rather lets his football on the pitch do the talking and we have all seen it countless times, the match against the Netherlands in the world cup proves this statement.

Messi has broken a lot of records and has completed football and earlier this morning Messi scored his 800th career goal with a stunning freekick. The Argentinian has won 42 trophies for both club and country in his football career and is one step away from equaling Dani Alves who has won 43 trophies for both club and country.

The Argentinian has won the Uefa Champions league four times, Fifa Club World cup, Super Cup, La Liga titles, Ligue 1 title, and many more. The most recent trophy Messi has won is the 2022 Fifa World Cup trophy which is the highest trophy in the world of football.

My favorite moment with Messi was last year in December when Argentina beat France in a penalty shoot out to be crowned champions of the world, I remember screaming at the top of my voice and broke down in tears when Montiel scored the last penalty for Argentina and immediately I saw Messi going down on his knees in joy as the rest of the Argentina squad rushed to embrace him, it still feels like yesterday but I will forever remember that moment.

Messi is a 7th time Ballon d'Or winner and by the end of this year he could get his eighth Ballon d'Or award. Messi is different for other footballs, he is the best in everything and I don't see anyone coming close to him, he is indeed the GOAT( Greatest Of All Time). So guys that will be all, thanks for stopping by and have a good evening.
